Miata Rehab project #2: Faded seats
 |
| before |
I've got a base model Miata with cloth seats. I've flirted with the idea of trading my car for a limited edition model of a similar year, but all of those come with leather seats. And if you've ever driven a convertible on a hot summer day, you'd know that leather is not a good option. I borrowed a steam cleaner and washed my seats, but this is as good as it got. They were starting to turn purple.

So, in looking around online for rehab tips, I found a
fabric/vinyl dye that's spray paint. I'd read many positive reviews so I decided to try it. I think I spent maybe $15 on two cans of black. I taped off the vinyl edges so only the cloth was exposed. I haven't been able to get a good angle to photograph the "after" effect, but it's a pretty striking difference. I am not sure how long it'll last. We'll see.
